Software Engineer (Agentic AI)
Company: Neuralink
Location: Austin, Texas, United States
Salary: $151k - $261k per year
Type: Full-time
Posted: 2026-05-20
About this role
- As a Software Engineer on the Agentic AI Team, you’ll work directly with the engineers and scientists who use the platform every day
- You won’t be handed a spec doc from a product manager three layers removed from the problem
- Some days you’re heads-down writing harness code, chasing a flaky tool call or shaving minutes off a worker boot
- On another day, you might spend a morning pairing with a robotics engineer to figure out why their agent keeps timing out, then spend the afternoon writing a new skill that gives every agent in the company access to a system that didn’t exist yesterday
- The constant is that you’re close to the user and shipping solutions quickly
- Job Description and Responsibilities:
- This role builds the systems that automate digital work at Neuralink
- Every day, scientists, engineers, and operators use our agents to perform complex data investigation, query telemetry, debug code, investigate incidents, and stitch data across implants, robots, and clinical trials
- The platform you’ll build is what makes that possible - and what determines how fast the rest of the company can move
- You’ll own a stack that spans dispatchers, persistent worker pools, identity and LLM proxies, session memory, and dozens of skills that connect agents to our internal systems
- As more of the company adopts agents, the surface area grows fast - and you’ll be the one owning the roadmap and deciding on the highest value projects
- You’ll be expected to find new problems at the company to solve
- We’re moving fast - model capabilities advance every month, and we’re racing to keep our capabilities at the frontier. 60-hour weeks are not uncommon, and there are stretches where the pace is high
- This isn’t for everyone
